Armenia's Greek community remembers Pontian Greeks genocide May 19, 2011 - 15:28 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia's Greek community does not forget about the genocide of the Pontian Greeks perpetrated by Turkish nationalists under the guidance of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the head of Greek community of Armenia stated. As Arkady Khitarov told a news conference in Yerevan, the recognition and condemnation of the genocide is gaining impetus, specifically in U.S. and Australia. “Armenia's struggle for recognition of 1915 Genocide is an example for the Greek nation,” he said. Speaking about whether modern Turkey is ready to acknowledge its past, the head of the community characterized it as a country, which brings up generations on fictional history. In reply to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter's question if Turkey, which denies the fact of perpetrating the genocide of Christian nations, will be permitted to join the EU, Khitarov expressed hope that the Europeans will not allow it.
